Our project proposes preserving and celebrating the
most significant portions of the High Line. Approaching the site
from the cultural centers to the south, the curve of the High Line
at 30th Street makes a natural entrance to the Kunsthalle and open
space below. The railing along the northern edge of the High Line
will be removed in portions, allowing for an integrated connection
and compliment to the adjacent public spaces, restaurants, stores
and community facilities. Celebrating the terminus of the High Line
will be an architecturally distinctive connection to Hudson River
Park. Inherent to this strategy is the preservation and reuse of
the space underneath the elevated High Line structure, which will
be animated by storefront retail, reinforcing the path towards the
Hudson River and creating an additional pedestrian amenity at ground
level. |
